Lund University FYS225/FKF050 course

This is an introductory course to elementary particle
physics, with a special emphasis on experimental methods
and latest discoveries. The course will give basic
knowledge of concepts of particle physics, and current
experiments at world's highest energy accelerators and in space
will be presented.

Spring Term 2004: Introductory meeting on Monday, January 19,
at 15:15, in H420 (Fysikum)

Course plan: Three 2-hour lectures a week.
In each 2-hour lecture, one chapter of the book is
covered. In addition, there will be two lectures on astroparticle
physics. There will be a few weekly exercises which should be handed
over, and which give part of the total points. Exercises will be
explained in three problem-solution sessions. There will also be
a few presentations about current research in high-energy physics
(not included in the exam). LU students (FYS225) should in addition
do invidual project work on a selected topic. The project will
be presented orally (student seminar) (ca. 20 min each).

Points for the final grade in the 3p course
FKF050 (LTH)

Exam: 6 questions, giving 85% of the points

Exercises: give 15% of the points. The hand-in
exercises will be corrected and points are given according to the
results. The astroparticle physics exercises are demonstrations, and
points are given according to attendance.

Points for the final grade in the 5p course FYS225
(LU)

Exam: 6 questions, giving 50% of the points

Exercises: give 10% of the points. The hand-in
exercises will be corrected and points are given according to the
results. The astroparticle physics exercises are demonstrations, and
points are given according to attendance.

Project work: give 40% of the points. The contents of the
work will be evaluated based on the oral presentation, evaluated at a
scale 1-5, and weighted appropriately in the final grading.
